It’s NOT just like watching Brazil – Cameroon stun home fans in Brasilia

Cameroon, one of the World Cup’s biggest under-performers so far, raised their game several notches as they took on hosts Brazil on Monday night and having fallen behind to a Neymar goal, took advantage of some wretched defending to pull level and silence the raucous home fans in Brasilia.

Half-hearted defending by right-back Dani Alves allowed Allan Nyom to skip past him and cross from the left wing, and keeper Julio Cruz was could only watch as his defenders allowed Joel Matip the easiest of chances to poke the African side level.

After such a disappointing campaign, with an on-pitch bust-up between players its low point, Cameroon seem to have raised their game somewhat when it is too late to make any difference.
